Hello all!

A young girl just walked in with a broken sternum - apparently near the xiphoid. Injured a few days ago and pain is almost gone but a Doc rx'd a pectus carinatum brace - I don't think this is the appropriate brace as I don't feel she need pressure, just protection.

Anyone have any experience or recommendations?

Thanks in advance!
